Online Game: Me, with Unparalleled Comprehension

After doing all this, he did not leave the town immediately, but went to the town's general store first.

Yesterday, while grinding monsters on the road, I accumulated a lot of materials in my backpack, such as gray wolf pelts, coyote teeth, and wild fox pelts. They take up space but are also worth some money.

The lean, middle-aged shopkeeper of the general store was fiddling with his abacus, without even looking up.

Wu Feng dumped a large pile of materials on the counter; the wolf pelts stacked up were almost half a person's height.

The shopkeeper then looked up, stretched out his thin fingers to examine the quality of the fur, and weighed the animal teeth in his hand.

"Grey wolf pelts, 80, average quality, 50 coins each. Coyote pelts, 60, slightly inferior, 40 coins each. Wild fox pelts, 30, acceptable, 120 coins each. A bunch of wolf teeth and fox teeth... that'll be 1000 coins. In total..." He rattled off a few calculations, "11000 coins. That's 11 taels of silver."

Wu Feng nodded. The price was fair enough; it wasn't too much of a rip-off.

He took the loose silver from the shopkeeper, weighed it in his hand, and put it into his backpack.

The total amount of silver in my backpack has increased again. Including the scattered copper coins dropped by monsters yesterday, the day's monster-killing earnings are equivalent to more than twenty taels of silver.

In real currency, that's close to 20,000 yuan.

"This gold farming efficiency... is indeed quite good," Wu Feng thought to himself.

This is just in a normal monster area. If you can farm higher-level monsters or participate in some rewarding quests and dungeons in the future, your income will definitely skyrocket.

Strength is indeed the true currency.

He didn't linger in the town, but went straight back to the Yuelai Inn and led his chestnut horse out of the stable.

I checked the saddle and hay, and patted the horse's neck.

The chestnut horse affectionately rubbed against his hand and snorted, indicating that it had recovered well.

He mounted his horse and gave the reins a gentle tug. "Giddy up!"

The chestnut horse trotted out, carrying him once again onto the yellow earthen road leading south. The faint morning light cast long, slanted shadows of the man and his horse.

Wu Feng's goal is very clear.

Continue heading towards Dali, but there's no need to rush.

When you encounter a suitable monster spawn point along the way, stop to practice, level up, and save money.

To reach the minor mastery level in Tai Chi, a lot of practical experience is needed to consolidate and improve it; the level also needs to be increased; materials can be sold for money, even small amounts are still valuable.

After running for more than an hour, the horses gradually slowed down and began to pant.

A hilly area appeared beside the official road ahead, covered with shrubs, and roaming wolves and tusked wild boars could be seen in the distance.

"This is it." Wu Feng reined in his horse, skillfully dismounted, tied it up, and fed it hay.

Then he turned and walked toward the monsters that had sensed the presence of living beings and were beginning to stir restlessly.

They assumed the starting stance of Tai Chi.

Tai Chi Chuan at the Lesser Mastery level has a more harmonious and integrated style of boxing, and a deeper understanding and application of softness and neutralizing force.

Using it to deal with these ordinary monsters is a way to efficiently kill them and gain proficiency and experience, while also honing your skills in actual combat – a win-win situation.

A large, tusked wild boar charged forward with a low growl, its momentum fierce.

Wu Feng shifted his stance slightly, turned sideways, and seemingly slowly placed his right hand on the wild boar's rough back, stroking and pulling it. "Wild Horse Parts Its Mane".

The violent momentum was easily deflected, and the wild boar's huge body involuntarily swayed and crashed heavily into a low tree, leaving it dizzy and disoriented.

Wu Feng stepped forward and gently pressed his left palm against its side rib.

"Press hard" and exhale slightly.

Thud! A dull thud accompanied the soft cracking of bones. The wild boar let out a mournful cry and collapsed.

[Slaying a tusked boar grants 120 experience points.]

[Tai Chi proficiency +210.]

Without stopping, his body moved like flowing water among the several gray wolves that pounced on him.

"Cloud Hands" deflects claw strikes, "Single Whip" slashes diagonally at the wolf's waist, "Jade Maiden Shuttle" dodges bites while simultaneously striking with an elbow... Every contact seems gentle, yet it always delivers just the right amount of force to a fatal spot.

Two hours passed quickly as I practiced my fist techniques while grinding monsters by the forest.

Wu Feng used a move that seemed to seal and close the earth, slamming the last gray wolf that pounced from the side and rear into the ground.

The force of the punch penetrated to the bone, and as the wolf's body went limp and motionless, the skill bar at the edge of its field of vision finally crossed that critical line.

[System Notification: Congratulations! Your Tai Chi Chuan has broken through to the Lesser Completion level! Arm Strength +50, Constitution +40, Body Movement +30. Your understanding and application of soft and neutralizing force have significantly improved. When performing Tai Chi Chuan, you have a slight increase in resistance and counterattack ability against close-range grappling and throwing, and can more effectively use the opponent's force against them.]

A sense of enlightenment, more profound and seamless than that of a skilled practitioner, surged through his entire body.

Wu Feng stopped his stance and stood still, slowly exhaling. His breath condensed into a straight white ribbon in the slightly dry afternoon air, lingering for a long time.

He moved his wrists, feeling the changes brought about by the minor achievement realm.

It's not just about the numbers flashing on the attribute panel, but also about a deeper understanding of the core of the martial art.

Now, when he practices boxing, the unity of his waist and stance appears even more natural, and the essence of deflecting attacks with minimal effort and using minimal force to overcome great strength has become an instinctive part of him.

I glanced at the skill bar:

Tai Chi (Small Achievement 108/200000)

From beginner to expert, it takes 200,000 skill points. The road is long, but we'll take it one step at a time.

Wu Feng turned around with satisfaction and walked back to where he had tied up his horse.

The chestnut horse had rested enough and was leisurely swishing its tail. When it saw its owner return, it affectionately snorted.

He untied the reins, patted the horse's neck, and mounted the saddle.

"drive!"

With a soft shout, the chestnut horse set off again, galloping south along the official road. The wind brushed past their ears, carrying the scents of the fields and distant mountains.

This way, I can travel and practice martial arts at the same time, and even level up along the way. It's pretty good.

Horses are not machines after all. After galloping at full speed for more than two hours, their speed slowed down significantly, and their breath was frothy.

Wu Feng slowed down at the right moment, his gaze sweeping across both sides of the official road. Not far ahead, there was another patch of lush hills, where the silhouettes of wild boars with tusks rooting in the soil and the green eyes of hyenas roaming about could be vaguely seen.

He dismounted, tied up, and fed the horses with practiced ease, then headed straight for the group of monsters that had sensed the presence of a living person and begun to stir.

The Tai Chi Chuan began again.

With his minor mastery of the fist technique, he was more than capable of dealing with these ordinary wild monsters. The fierce charge of the tusked boar was easily thwarted by his Wild Horse Mane Parting technique, turning it into a rolling gourd.

The wolves' cunning attack was futile against the smooth, rounded energy flow created by the Cloud Hand technique.

He deliberately experimented with different applications of force—either using a powerful, inch-force to instantly kill the enemy, or using a flexible, coiling motion to deflect force, or using the enemy's own force to make the monsters collide with each other.

[Slaying a tusked boar grants 120 experience points. Tai Chi proficiency increases by 210.]

[Slayed a coyote, gaining 90 experience points. Tai Chi proficiency increased by 210.]

The kill notifications ticked steadily, and the experience bar grew slowly but surely. After two hours of intense combat, when a particularly robust boar leader's skull was shattered by his powerful punch and it collapsed to the ground howling in pain, a familiar golden light rose from his body.

Congratulations! Your level has increased to 20! Strength +1, Constitution +1, Agility +1.

Wu Feng glanced at the meager three-point attribute bonus and curled his lip.

Compared to the 50 points of arm strength, 40 points of constitution, and 30 points of agility that come with the minor achievement in Tai Chi, this upgrade reward is negligible.

The core progression in this game still lies in the level of martial arts prowess.

Even a small gain is still a gain, and a higher level is never a bad thing. He glanced at his skill bar; his proficiency in [Tai Chi] had reached (Minor Success 90708/200000).

I have over 90,000 proficiency points.

The efficiency of improving martial arts skills by killing monsters is higher than the 420 points gained from simply practicing stances in the Wudang Bamboo Forest Open Space. Although each session only yields 210 points, it is almost uninterrupted and provides experience and loot, making the overall benefit significantly higher.

"With my stats improved, killing monsters and grinding proficiency is even more enjoyable," Wu Feng muttered to himself, wiping away non-existent sweat from his forehead.

With his current attributes, he doesn't need to use his true energy to fight these monsters. He can easily crush them with his physical strength and fist techniques, making it extremely efficient.

After finishing this battle, he lingered, returned to the roadside, mounted his chestnut horse (which had recovered most of its strength), and continued on his way.

He swayed on the horse's back, holding the reins with one hand and taking out hard bread and dried meat from his bag with the other, chewing them slowly with water from his water bag.
